Listening to ‘Whispering Grass’ is a hugely frustrating experience. Don Estelle has a beautiful singing voice but having Windsor Davies on it just makes it into a ridiculous comedy song
Just found this album on Spotify: 100 songs / 5 hours of Don Estelle’s gorgeous voice. Sadly, no ‘Whispering Grass’. It looks as though the only recording he made of it is the stupid comedy version with Windsor Davies open.spotify.com/album/1NTsA6nn…
Wait: I was wrong: looked through the track listing too quickly. Delighted to report that there is a ‘straight’, non-comedic version of ‘Whispering Grass’! Lovely! open.spotify.com/track/1OFqRxRR…

Why are UK govt ministers spouting this fuckwittery about independence, talking as if the UK had been colonised against its will? They’re supposed to be grownups ffs.
“As you would expect from an independent nation, we can’t be subject to the rules and laws made by somebody else”
Apart from it being bullshit, every time our govt says "by leaving the EU, we have become an independent, democratic country" it insults all 27 EU member states (including some that 30 years ago were under communist dictatorship) by saying they are not independent or democratic
I feel that the ppl of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are better qualified to judge whether they currently live in an independent, democratic country than ppl who supported Brexit (or those like Grant Shapps, who opposed it at the time but now believe it’s a good idea)

BBC World Service interviewing Minnesotan ‘Women for Trump’ on Super Tuesday. Re his comments about women: “Seven-year-olds on the school bus say similar things” [to argue it was OK 😩😮😳]; “I’m a company exec and if I thought he didn’t respect women I wouldn’t vote for him”
“I think he’s restored dignity to the White House” 😩😮😳

I just angrily messaged somebody the following words: “Between falling and lying!”
Any guesses what this was about?
(Answer in an hour)
I had been arguing earlier in the day with a Scottish friend as to whether snow “settles” (me) or “lies” (him) when it lands on cold, dry ground...
He tried to prove his case by quoting ‘Good King Wenceslas’ (“snow layround about”) & something by Oscar Wilde (“It was a night of bitter cold. The snow lay thick upon the ground, and upon the branches of the trees: the frost kept snapping the little twigs on either side of them”

TELEVISION REVIEW: "Big City Greens", on @DisneyChannel
You might have recognized by now that I'm far behind the times when it comes to animation, and TV in general, and that could explain why it took me four years to watch just one episode of #MiraculousLadybug and just over one year to watch my first episode of #TheLoudHouse.
At first, I only knew about this show #BigCityGreens because it was (and is) often tweeted about by @candyrandyj. My interest in this show spiked over the weekend after I looked at its plot summary (which I can resonate with strongly, as I said Saturday evening) . . .

GOD the Victorian/Edwardian English loved their tableaus.
Yeah, I know, "Cartoonist enjoys pictures that tell a story," BIG SHOCK THERE. But c'mon, they're pretty great.

Especially the SOCIAL MORALIST stuff. The English spent DECADES absolutely CHURNING OUT the most killer paintings about the perils of modern, immoral behavior.
And they're awesome. Seriously the best, if you know how to read them.

The granddaddy of them all was William Hogarth, quite successful during his own lifetime as a painter, but also a cartoonist and satirist.

I'm interested in ghost stories, not just because they give me a fulfilling sense of dread, they can also tell us something about the place & time from which they emerged. The haunting of Burg Werdenfels, deep in the Bavarian Alps, is such an example. THREAD /1 #FolkloreThursday
Some of you will know that in another life, I was a high school teacher, living in Stuttgart, Germany. Every year, we'd take our Year 7 class to Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Bavaria, near the border with Austria. Every year, we'd hike up to Burg Werdenfels. /2
Burg Werdenfels isn't the most imposing castle ruin you'll ever come across, but it has a commanding view, and was quite the power base when it was built sometime around the 13th century - chiefly to protect trade coming up from Italy. /3

Beautiful
(A microburst Twitter essay--to be finished before I'm done with my cough drop)

I just had an epiphany: #beautiful has become my new favorite word. That may seem strange given my circumstances. In June 2017 I was diagnosed with incurable stage IV #lungcancer.
I naively thought that maybe my lifetime of being a health and fitness junkie would insulate me from such a medical fate. Wrong. And So here I am, fifty-one years old and not sure how much time I have left on earth. I know I could, or maybe should, feel angry, cheated, jaded.
But I don't. I have this epiphany that my new favorite word is beautiful and I'm not sure why. There is nothing beautiful about what I've gone through since my diagnosis--lots of physical and emotional distress to be sure. But yet, I keep find
